Facebook continues to feel threatened by Google+.
Facebook began rolling out smart friend lists to users. The new tool makes it easier for us to group Facebook friends into categories such as close friends, acquaintances, or work colleagues. Sound and look familiar? It’s because it’s a Google+ feature.

Facebook claims the lists are completely optional. If we don’t like them, we don’t have to use them.
Each of the lists has its own News Feed, where you can see just the photos, status updates and other posts from the people on that specific list.
